Seating area
Brandyn T.

This is a great coffee spot in the heart of Markham located in the upper plaza area of Langham Square (the one with the T&T south of Kennedy/Hwy 7). We've been here a handful of times and have generally really enjoyed the drinks and vibes. DRINKS (4/5) They use locally roasted Hatch beans (I believe Supernova) which produces a balanced espresso that pairs well with milk drinks. This most recent time we ordered an Iced Tiramisu Latte and a Banana Dirty. The iced tiramisu latte is topped with a cheese foam and cocoa powder that very much resembles the essence of tiramisu. It is not overpowering and does not detract from the flavour of the coffee. Very safe option especially if you like tiramisu or more chocolatey drinks. The Banana Dirty is a smaller drink that is essentially espresso with homemade banana infused milk. I expected a much punchier drink but the banana was unfortunately quite faint. I wouldn't recommend. Other visits we tried the Dalgona Latte which is topped with chunks of dalgona that add texture and sweetness to the latte. They also have other unique americano-esque drinks that I'd like to try. AMBIENCE (4/5) The interior is nicely decorated with more modern furnishings. It is sadly a smaller space with no true tables that would be good to set up for a long stint of work or study. They have a long banquette along the side with 3 side tables, and a high table by the front door. LOCATION (3/5) Being located in Langham Square it's mostly accessible by car and the parking lot is a bit complicated and congested during peak hours since it's in the same complex as the T&T. OVERALL (4/5) Very solid coffeeshop with some unique menu options that entices you to come back and try. Not a space that is particularly designed for long term study or work. I usually stop by for a drink when I'm in the area to chat with friends and will continue to do so to try cool new drinks!

Cute little cafe. Coffee was really good. Seating is very very limited though as the cafe itself isn't very big. There's only one tall table that sits two and a few other small tables. If you're looking for a place to study or work this might not be the spot. However did you just want to grab a good coffee and chat, I would recommend trying them out. We got a Oreo latte and a hot jasmine tea latte. Another time we tried their crème brûlée latte and osmanthus latte. They have a variety of drinks that are different from your normal cafe!

Hojicha Latte
Linda L.

Cute cafe in Markham that sells high quality coffee. I like that they source their coffee beans from Hatch which is a local roaster that's also based in Markham. The coffee is very aromatic and has great flavours. The cafe is a few seating spots inside and washroom available for customer use. It's not really suitable for bringing a laptop to work as the cafe is quite small, but you are welcome to sit and chat. The staff is really friendly as well and they're able to accommodate requests to adjust for ice and sugar levels. I am not a fan of their tea lattes however, even though they use high quality ingredients like Hokkusan matcha. I just find the taste to be too light for my preference and I would rather get matcha or hojicha lattes from Roji Monster a few stores down.

Tiramisu Latte, Matcha Yuzu
Marina L.

Such a cute cafe with good vibes, seating, and AC. A good place to sit and chat but maybe not for doing work. The staff was super friendly and helped me choose my drinks. The Matcha Yuzu was my favourite - you could actually taste the yuzu! The Tiramisu Latte was slightly sweeter, but honestly was just the right amount of sweet for me. They have so many fun drinks on the menu, I'm definitely going back to try some more!

Cute shop in langham square. Free parking as it's the plaza with T&T and other stores. Very few seats but adorable ambience. Drinks were good, service was sweet and quick. Need to try the tiramisu latte next time Iced Matcha latte 8.2/10, $7.50 Iced Oreo latte 8/10, $7.50 Iced Sea salt cheese foam latte 7/10, $7.50 All solid drinks, I'm just biased towards strawberry matchas

Cafe in Markham with simple seating and interesting selection of cold and hot coffee drinks. Minimal decor with a focus on the coffee. Also has bags of hatch coffee for sale, pacific barista milk, and small variety of goodies such as canale (earl grey, regular, and matcha) as well as croissant and basque cheesecake. The dalgona latte and the matcha strawberry lattes were good. Canale was pretty tasty too.

Matcha Yuzu latte and Jasmine Tea Latte
Denise W.

Yuzu Matcha Latte: very unique flavour and you can definitely taste the yuzu. The cream foam on top is also a nice touch. All in all a great drink 4.5/5 Jasmine Tea Latte: 4/5 you can taste the jasmine tea in this which is just a hint and subtle. Would be better if had the cream foam on top. The cafe is really small and there ain't much seating if you're thinking of coming here for a date or hang out with your friends. It's more like you pick up your drink and leave. Service was pretty good. When we went there was just one girl working and she worked really fast because even though there was a line of people before us they all got their drinks in a timely manner and took less of a wait than expected.

A very cute cafe space with a good variety of drinks to offer. We came in right at the end of the day so it was empty and there wasn't any pastries left. Service was good, we ordered our drinks and received them promptly afterwards. We ordered the taro ube latte which I believe is currently a seasonal drink. We also ordered the Dalgona latte. Some of the drinks only coming in cold which there is signage for on the menu in store. All the drinks were good. Overall great little cafe and would love to come back to try some other menu items you don't see often.

A new cafe popped up in Markham inside the plaza of T&T plaza at Kennedy south of Highway 7. Came here Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy. There are a few tables and one high top with two chairs. I liked that the menu was in both English and Chinese. We ordered the Dalgona Latte and it was pretty good. They also sell pastries such as croissants, croffles and a small pastry called cannele. The service was ok. When we had a question about the drinks of which one is better the barista said she didn't know :( So we ordered what we were familiar with rather than try something new. I wish the cafe had more of a vibe.

Sea Salt Caramel Milk Foam and Flat White
Kathleen W.

Finally another cafe in Markham! The cafe has some seating for you to enjoy your coffee and some pastries. If you're looking to work, it might limited table space. They use beans from Hatch which seems to be a good starter line for new cafes as they explore other roasters. They offer oat, soy and almond alternatives! Overall, the flat white was tasty. I'd probably try another specialty drink instead of the sea salt caramel.

Yuzu Matcha with Milk Foam
Vonny W.

I was on the lookout for a new coffee shop to try since the one I had originally planned to go to was closed for today. I came across A Lot Coffee during my Google search and was drawn in by their unique menu items. This coffee shop is located beside (the very busy) Garden Cafe so initially, it was a little difficult to locate - especially since their sign didn't stand out too much. Admittedly, the parking on this plaza is always very chaotic since it is busy but there it is both above ground and underground parking. The coffee shop is a decent size and quite clean from a glance. I love their minimal decor which makes it very cute. They have their menu posted outside/through the window so you can take a peek before entering but they also have large tv screen menus inside as well for easy viewing. Service was short but friendly. We were thanked upon leaving as well. Now on to the drinks... I was feeling for some caffeine so I opted for the OREO LATTE. I love the aesthetic of this drink as we have a beautiful gradient - starting with some Oreo crumbs, then milk, espresso, chocolate whip cream, and finally, topped with mini Oreo cookies. Though it sounds indulgent, this beverage wasn't very heavy and also catered to the Asian tastebuds, being not too sweet. If you're looking for a more unique beverage, they have a YUZU MATCHA LATTE WITH MILK FOAM which my mom ordered. The yuzu notes were evident but balanced well with the matcha. Overall, it was not too sweet so no adjustments needed to my made. The milk foam was a nice touch to contrast the texture of the latte itself. I was also pleased with the fact that there was no grainy texture from the matcha powder at all. All in all, tasty drinks! I'd be interested to try their Tiramisu Latte with Milk Foam next. They also have some bakery items to offer - I saw some canelés, croffles, and croissants. Seating is available but limited - about five parties of two. But three of these are alongside a long bench so you could potentially seat more there.

Cute cafe, not too much seating though and busy on a Saturday afternoon. Great drinks, albeit a bit pricey ($7.5/each after tax). Plenty of underground parking. Will drop by when I'm in the area!

That level of care really comes through in the cup; you can taste the depth and intentionality in every sip. I ordered the vanilla bean iced latte, and it was easily one of the best espresso bases I've had in a while. The shot itself was rich and layered: deep, chocolatey, and nutty striking a really nice balance between bitterness and acidity. It finished with a smooth, almost creamy note that made the whole drink incredibly enjoyable. The only downside is the size-to-price ratio. At around CAD $8.50 for what felt like a 10 oz drink, it's definitely on the pricier side for something that goes down this easily. Still, I'd absolutely come back when I'm in the mood for a more premium coffee experience. (Funny note - the barista and I had a small rant together about how people order "iced cappuccino" and macchiato expecting Starbucks milk sugary drink instead of the "proper" shot with dollop of foam. I understand their pain hahah)

It was my first time here and i was surprised to see that they also have seating here as well. I was intrigued with their seasonal menu and I'm so glad I checked them out because their drinks were delicious and well rounded in flavour. Opted for their blueberry latte and peach jasmine cloud and both drinks were so delicious! The blueberry latte had a nice subtle blueberry flavour with the coffee. The peach jasmine cloud on the other hand was refreshing but had that savoury cheese foam on the top as well that worked well with the drink pairing. What a great local coffee shop with nicely curated drinks in Markham. Worth checking out for sure.

Also got a Kyoho Grape Hand-shaken Iced Tea. Originally asked for the latte to be iced, but when it was ready, it was hot. I mentioned to the barista, who double-checked the order placed, and said they could make me a new one. But because I didn't want to wait any longer, I said it was ok and I would just enjoy the hot version. I was still waiting for my iced tea, so while sitting, the barista came over and gave me some change and said because they had charged me for an iced tea, it was only right to refund me for the extra charge. I appreciate the honesty. The Honey Cream Latte had a nice sweetness to it. The Kyoho Grape iced tea was also slightly sweet, but balanced and refreshing. If staying in, there's a few tables inside that seat 2 per table. Some patrons were eating food that they ordered off the menu, while others were on their laptops, or chatting with their friend. There's also free parking in the plaza's lot.

The staff there were super friendly and helpful, and since this cafe is a laptop-free area, it was nice to just sit and chat with my friend. I'm not normally a citrus with coffee kind of girl, but the Tiger Bomb looked really interesting to me and I do love an orange and dark chocolate flavour! The drink did not disappoint at all, and one of the staff members explained different ways I could start drinking it in order to get a blend of the different layers of flavours that were going on. I loved that there was a flavour profile card with the list of everything that was happening both taste-wise and aroma-wise, and it was a lovely experience. My friend had ordered the coffee trio taster which I can't recall what there was exactly, but I do remember there being a citrus tonic kind of drink, an espresso shot, and a latte to finish off (in order of recommended taste by the staff members). We did end up sharing a slice of key lime pie as a nice treat too and it was nice and tart and not overly sweet! The price is a bit intimidating, especially compared to the rather small portion size, but it's definitely not coffee flavours that you can get at your typical cafe or chain coffee shop so I would recommend giving it a try for sure, just for that experience!
